My point is that they are vying for supremacy, and it's not me that is at fault. It's your determination that America is not a failing society.

Umair Haque is one of the world's foremost thinkers. Who are you?

And we do not get our facts from 25 year old journalism school graduates from Columbia. I am a dual German / South African citizen, and like Umair spent some time in the States. I have lived in 5 countries in the EU and 2 in Africa. I have traveled and read the press from numerous countries in a couple of languages.

I doubt you are as well informed.
